There's a moment in Kingdom Come: Deliverance where you break into someone’s house to steal a ring as part of quest for a group of miller’s that, it turns out, are secretly an organization of thieves. We're left thinking, “Wow, this really is a lot like an Elder Scrolls game.” Not in a bad way either. While Bethesda’s series of open world RPGs have been influential, no one’s really tried to straight up make something so close to an Elder Scrolls game. To its credit, for all the parallels in design and visuals, Kingdom Come feels like a vastly different experience from an Elder Scrolls title. In the video above, GameSpot's own Jean-Luc Seipke talks about how these two games can feel so different despite being so similar, and how Bethesda could actually learn a thing or two from Kingdom Come. While multiple Elder Scrolls games are referenced, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is primarily used due to the visual similarities and also because it's … [Read more...] about What Kingdom Come: Deliverance Can Teach The Elder Scrolls Series

Wanderlust takes us to all kind of places. Often travelling to sate our desire for breathtaking views and sublime vistas involves hopping on a plane or at least taking a trip down to the other end of the country. But why go to all that effort when you can boot up your bit of gaming technology of choice and step into the world of The Elder Scrolls? We're still waiting to see what kind of geographical wonders Elder Scrolls 6 will bring, so until its location gets confirmed why not take a trip to Skyrim, Morrowind, or Cyrodiil and save yourself the cost of a plane ticket. Castle Volkihar, The Sea of Ghosts (The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim) This bleak structure is hidden in The Sea of Ghosts, and you can live here if you side with the Volkihar Clan in Skyrim’s Dawnguard expansion. It’s got everything a discerning vampire could want, including a blacksmith, a kitchen, platters of fresh human flesh and a dungeon crammed with imprisoned vampire cattle. Perfect for a large … [Read more...] about Explore Tamriel with the best locations in the Elder Scrolls series

The one thing that truly sets Skyrim Special Edition's Dovahkiin apart from the rest of those mortals who walk the land is their ability to harness the Thu’um, Shouts. By speaking in the ancient language of the dragons the Dragonborn is able to unleash destructive effects onto their foes - an impressive sight even if you're playing on the much smaller screen of Skyrim Nintendo Switch. These are the birthright of the hero as well as potentially their greatest tools in the battle against Alduin. However you’re going to have to work for most of these as only a small few of them are earned by following the main storyline; all three words for five Shouts will make their way to you as well as one word for two others to be precise. Learning to use your Shouts is the key to excelling in Skyrim. A level one Shout isn’t much to write home about effect wise but it recharges rapidly enough for you to reuse it in the same fight. The higher level Shouts are more effective but they … [Read more...] about The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition Word Wall location and Shout guide

Six years after its release, Skyrim still manages to be relevant. Between the 2016 remaster, the upcoming VR version, and now a Switch port, it's hard to forget about The Elder Scrolls V, and that's a testament to how absorbing an RPG it is. With the addition of instant portability on Switch, it's even harder to put this high quality port down. Skyrim is one of the best Switch ports currently available, though it's not too surprising considering the game's age. It runs smoothly with a rock-solid frame rate both in smaller spaces and in the overworld. Text can be a little small when playing in handheld mode, though it still performs and plays as well as it does docked and with a Pro Controller. The newly introduced motion controls are all optional as well; wagging a Joy-Con will swing melee weapons, and you can use motion to fine-tune your aim with your bow. Skyrim does retain the glitches it has always been known (and loved) for, though, including bizarre NPC pathing problems. In our … [Read more...] about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Switch Review
